The New Theatre Alumni Network is finally here!
We are Becky Catlin and Philip Geller. We have both been involved in The New Theatre for the past four years and sit on the outgoing committee. Becky is the current President of the theatre and has worked as both an actress and extensively as a director during her time as a member. Philip has been on the committee for three years and has been involved with multiple productions as a designer and Technical Director.
We are very excited that you have shown an interest in being a part of this network that we hope will expand over the coming years in order to trace the hundreds of Nottingham graduates who have been involved in the wonderful company that is The New Theatre, previously Backstage, Dramsoc and The Amateur Dramatics Society.
This Alumni Network has been founded in order to build a stronger sense of the history of the theatre, to build connections between current and previous members and to keep ex-New Theatre members informed of the progress of the theatre and of fellow alumni. These newsletters will become a regular feature alongside a new page on our website and a Facebook group. Once the network has expanded considerably we intend to arrange an alumni event.
The foundation of the network comes at a time of great change for the theatre with the demolition of its 42 year old building and its move to a new purpose built space on Jubilee Campus imminent. The move presents many exciting opportunities for the theatre’s development. It is, however, of incredible importance to us to make sure that the beautiful spirit of the New Theatre’s heritage is continued into the new building. We are therefore very keen to try to build up a good sense of its history and a support base for the future.
We hope that you enjoy the first newsletter which can be viewed HERE

All the best
